What will be impact of the conflict in the Middle East be on energy bills? What can we do to avoid being so exposed to international fossil fuel price volatility? I was asked these and other questions by LBC News.

Heat pump sales rose 11% in 2025 across 16 European countries, with 2.63 million units sold.

Twelve countries saw growth, largely where subsidy schemes were stabilised and electricity costs addressed.

Policy certainty and energy levies & taxation are proving decisive.

The Middle East conflict is stress testing global energy. Bloomberg sees oil at $108 in a severe escalation.

We have seen this before. The difference now is that solar and batteries are more cost competitive. Every fossil fuel spike strengthens the case for renewables on energy security alone.

Grid investment is rising fast. BloombergNEF reports record spending in 2025 of 470 to 483 billion US dollars, up 17 percent on 2024. That is the second year of double digit growth.

This reflects structural change: more renewables, electrified transport & heating + rising demand from data centres.

Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.

A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.

Europe remains one of the economies most exposed to volatility in global energy markets.

The EU still depends on imported fossil fuels for close to 60% of its energy needs.

Among large economies, only Japan and South Korea have higher levels of energy import dependence.

What does the potentially emerging energy crisis mean for Europe?

Yesterday I was in a media briefing with 75 journalists. Here is a snippet of what I told them.

📌 A reminder:

Most of the gas Europe imports is used for heat - to warm our buildings and to provide process heat in industry.

Only around 20% of gas is used to generate electricity.

What does the potentially emerging energy crisis mean for Europe?

Yesterday I was in a media briefing with 75 journalists. Here is a snippet of what I told them.

Gas prices jumped again this morning and are on track to double - a stark reminder of our exposure to fossil fuel volatility.

The real solution isn’t more drilling, but moving away from combustion: electrify, use renewable power, and boost energy efficiency.
